I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 498
Lisa knew that Zoe would never forgive her for the rest of her life. With that said, she knew that Zoe was merciful enough towards her for not sending her to prison. Perhaps it was because they used to have some sort of connection in her teenage years.It was the middle of the night and Lisa cried her lungs out in the black limousine.Mason was standing on the steps and looking at her car in silence. He could just guess that his mother was crying or weeping in there. However, he didn’t go over and try to soothe her. Instead, he walked back into his manor. Everyone had their own emotional baggage, but no one else could’ve helped her with it. She’d have to deal with it on her own terms.…It was the second day of the New Year. Mason decided he’d visit Westley because it seemed like his father was suffering from some health issues.He parked his car in front of the apartment, but he didn’t go upstairs with his gifts before he finished smoking a cigarette. He had bought the ap

Lila stared into his eyes. She was beautiful, but in a different way from Lisa, who looked more elegant while she was more free-spirited. She asked him, “Are you worried about Mason or my sister?”Westley didn’t manage to find his voice for a long time. “I’m afraid Mason has already…”She had loved him for the longest time, but she had never confessed to him. Now that he had gone ahead and said half of it, she decided she’d just come out and say it. “Are you trying to say Mason realized that I have a thing for you?”What she said spooked him real good. He was an honest man who adhered closely to the moral principles he held so dear to his heart. So, his mind was drawing a blank when Lila so flagrantly pushed him for an answer to her feelings. He ran the thought in his head for a long time before deciding to turn her down gently. “I’m a married man, for Heaven’s sake! More to the point, I’ve never thought of you that way, Lila. I’ve always seen you as nothing more than Lisa’s

In the end, however, Zoe still rejected him. She said, “We’re not at the point where we could watch a movie together! Stop asking me out!”He asked, “Well, then. What are we to each other now?”Refusing to answer the question, she hung up on him. Only then did she realize her burning face and feel deeply embarrassed. After all, they had just done some unspeakable things in his car last night. It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.Leaning on the couch on the second floor, she read her book cozily while Yanni and Jamie played next to her. About half an hour later, she heard the sound of a car pulling into her yard. She didn’t pay it any mind. Moments later, her servant, Paloma, knocked on the study door before coming in. “Mr. Mason’s here, Ms. Zoe. He said he’s here to hang out with the kids. What should I do?”Before Zoe could say anything, Yanni gasped and cried out happily, “Dad’s here!”Not only did she race downstairs, but she also carried Jamie with her.

Zoe felt a little awkward as she chatted with Aiden. Tried as she might, but she just couldn’t ignore Mason. He was sitting right next to her. It didn’t help that he was leaning very close to her too. She could even smell his aftershave.Aiden, on the other hand, remained unaffected and continued to chat cheerfully with them.He was treating Mason quite warmly as well. It seemed he had completely thought of him as her husband. It was only made more obvious when Mason asked the waiter, who had just served her a glass of champagne, “Give her a glass of juice, please.”It might not have seemed out of the ordinary, but it spoke of his protective and possessive mind. Everyone on the spot saw it too. It was clear that Mason still cherished her, even if they were already divorced. Aside from that, some of them muttered about how he had done the impossible. They were baffled that he could stand on his own two feet again. Some guests murmured,“Now that Mason has hit full recovery, some

She must’ve been out of her mind! Zoe thought to herself.It was over between them, but she just couldn’t reject him every time he teased her. His flirting skills were so superb that she’d inevitably succumb to it.Raising her eyes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had to keep a clear head.After a brief moment, she left the restroom and was about to return to the ceremony hall when she heard a couple chatting. What was intriguing was that she recognized their voices. Poking her head out of the corner, she saw them.As expected, it was Ella and Leslie!Bumping into him was the last thing on Ella’s mind. As far as she was concerned, he was merely a ghost from her past. She used to hate him to the core.However, Farley had saved her from the endless pit of hatred. He might’ve passed away, but that did nothing to take away his love for her.They finally met each other after such a long time. Now, both of them were no longer young or naive. Leslie proceeded to light a ci

Leslie walked over and hugged her from behind. He didn’t do anything else. All he did was hold her tight and murmured, “I’m sorry, Ella! Can we please go back to the way things were?”Zoe had been peeping on them for a good while now. It was time she went over, she thought to herself.At that moment, someone pulled her back. She staggered and fell into someone’s warm embrace. It was Mason.Lowering his head, he leaned into her ear and whispered, “Let them sort it out themselves! Don’t worry. Ella can look after herself.”She tried to break free, but she couldn’t. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Let me go!”His face felt a little warm. Looking at her angry face, he said softly, “I told your chauffeur to go home. As you know, I have a few liquors in me. I’m going to need you to drive me home.”She wasn’t having any of it. Then, he added, “It’s snowing out there. I just might have a car crash if I drive now.”He was just impossible.She squirmed a little and broke free this t

The car window had a few snowflakes sticking to it.Zoe admired them quietly before she sighed and said, “It’s been snowing relentlessly this year.” Her voice was so soft that it was barely audible.However, he heard her. Holding the steering wheel, he looked ahead and responded gently, “Yeah. The snow hasn’t stopped ever since it started falling. Doesn’t it feel like we’ve made up for everything we missed out in the past? For that matter, don’t you feel that we’re on a date now? We never got to do that either.”Then, he tilted his head and looked at her. A car drove by from across the road. Just as its headlights shone into his car, it illuminated the affections in Mason’s expression. He looked so much more mature and charming now.He had treated her harshly in the past.He, too, used to be in love with her madly and wanted to make her his. Now, however, his love for her mellowed considerably. It wasn’t to say that he didn’t love her as much. Instead, his feelings for her had a

So, Zoe had to drink some liquor. Clearing them out, Finnegan made fun of the situation. “You guys are going to break Mason’s heart! So, you’d better watch your backs.”Everyone broke into laughter at that. That was when Gregory walked out from the crowd. He was going to get married soon, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of joy on his face. Instead, he was staring at Zoe gloomily.Silence hung over the huge private room. A few years back, Gregory had gone nuts over Zoe and some of the people here were mocking him for it now. He had truly gone out of his mind back then, so much so that his family had to send him overseas.Then, some of them tried to hold him back. “Get a hold of yourself, Gregory!”He shrugged them off, stared at her, and said softly, “Don’t worry! I’m perfectly calm! In fact, I’ve moved on a few years back.”However, he knew better than anyone that it wasn’t time that do the trick. It was because she didn’t give a damn about it.Zoe had had a few boyfrie

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
